Vladimir and Estragon are in the same s<strong>it</strong>uation. They are in an open empty road surrounded by the<br />
natural world, but unable to move on.<br />
Estragon: It's not worth while now. (Silence.)<br />
Vladimir: No, <strong>it</strong>'s not worth while now. (Silence.)<br />
Estragon: Well, shall we go?<br />
Vladimir: Yes, let's go. (They do not move.)<br />
Although they are not lim<strong>it</strong>ed by any barriers wa<strong>it</strong>ing in an open space, surrounded by nature (tree),<br />
they are indifferent to this world as <strong>it</strong> is indifferent to them. Their time passes in a very different<br />
way from the world around them.<br />
Pozzo: What time is <strong>it</strong>?<br />
Estragon: That depends what time of year <strong>it</strong> is.<br />
Pozzo: It is evening? (Silence. Vladimir and Estragon scrutinise the<br />
sunset.<br />
The world surrounding Estragon and Vladimir, is alienated through <strong>it</strong>s indifference. They are<br />
physically free in the open country, but still infin<strong>it</strong>ely remote. They could return, go away, but never<br />
make a move tied up by the false hopes and belief in the coming of Godot, who will solve this<br />
deadlock. Thus, Godot, infin<strong>it</strong>ely remote, fuses w<strong>it</strong>h an infin<strong>it</strong>ely alien world.<br />
Estragon: ...Let's go.<br />
Vladimir: We can't.<br />
Estragon: Why not?<br />
Vladimir: We're wa<strong>it</strong>ing for Godot.<br />
